Student Employment

Graduate students can obtain employment as teaching assistants or research assistants. For general information applicable to all graduate students, see employment-based funding. For information on financial support, see funding and awards.

Teaching Assistantships

Teaching assistantships (TA) are available to full-time thesis-based students in the MAC program. Students are eligible for a maximum of two teaching assistantships over the course of the program. 

Assignments

The department chair and the graduate officer will decide on the allocation of TA to students each academic year. Once you have been assigned to TA a particular course, you should meet with the course instructor to discuss the duties you will be expected to fulfill.

Teaching Assistant Job Responsibility Form

Each course will have a Teaching Assistant Job Responsibility form that the teaching assistant and the instructor must sign. The signed forms are to be submitted to the department office for the signature of the graduate officer. The forms must be sent to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies by the end of the second week of classes for payroll to be processed.

Research Assistantships

Research assistantships may be available to certain graduate students.
